.SH "NAME"
ipsec__confread \- internal routing to parse config file
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fI_confread\fR
is an internal script used for parsing /etc/ipsec\&.conf into a canonical format\&.
.SH "OBSOLETE"
.PP
\fI_confread\fR
is going to be obsoleted in the next major release of Openswan in favour of the
\fIaddcon\fR
code\&. The new code will load all the connections much faster then the current scripts that can takes minutes to load a few hunderd conns, and requires awk and sed commands not always available in their full versions, such as with busybox on embedded platforms\&. The old alternative to this called
\fIstarter\fR
will also be removed as obsolete for the new
\fIaddcon\fR
code\&.
